In every generation, important people predict that the end is near and the apocalypse is coming. In the 1960s, the fear was that population growth would destroy the planet—that fertility would outrun the food supply, and hundreds of millions of people would starve to death. The most famous warning was 'The Population Bomb,' a bestselling book published in 1968 by Stanford ecologist Paul Ehrlich, which claimed "the battle to feed all of humanity is over" and “hundreds of millions of people would starve to death” in the 1970s. But then the 1970s came and went. And global famine deaths didn't rise. They declined by 90 percent. In the 1980s, deaths from world hunger fell again. And again in the 1990s. And again in the 2000s. The apocalypse that everybody said was coming never came. And the reason is, basically, we invented super wheat. In the 1950s and 1960s, a plant pathologist named Norman Borlaug, working in Mexico on fungus-resistant wheat on a grant from the Rockefeller Foundation, managed to create a breed of wheat that was super abundant, efficient, and disease-resistant. His work kickstarted what's known as the Green Revolution, a movement whose discoveries are responsible for keeping roughly half the planet alive. In 2007, when Borlaug was 93, The Wall Street Journal editorialized that he had “arguably saved more lives than anyone in history. Maybe one billion.” Today's guest is Charles C. Mann, a journalist and author. We talk about the long history of the Green Revolution. Who was Norman Borlaug? What did he actually do? How did he do it? What does his accomplishment teach us about science, invention, and progress? We're at a moment today when American science is being cut to the bone while foreign aid is being slashed. I sometimes hear the question: What is foreign aid really worth to us? I think it's important to remember that Norman Borlaug was a foundation-funded scientist who didn't do his most important work in air-conditioned labs at Harvard or Johns Hopkins. His breakthroughs came in lean-to shacks in Mexico, where he worked to improve harvests. Without Borlaug's accomplishments, the world would look very different: Famines might trigger migration that destabilizes countries and transforms global politics. The world we have today, where countries like China and India can easily feed their huge populations, is a gift to global stability, to humanity, to America. It grew from the seed of a foreign agricultural support program. If you have questions, observations, or ideas for future episodes, email us at PlainEnglish@Spotify.com.

In the 1960s, a deep anxiety set in as one thing became seemingly clear: We were headed toward population catastrophe. Paul Ehrlich's “The Population Bomb” and “The Limits to Growth,” written by the Club of Rome, were just two publications warning of impending starvation due to simply too many humans on the earth.As the population ballooned year by year, it would simply be impossible to feed everyone. Demographers and environmentalists alike held their breath and braced for impact.Except that we didn't starve. On the contrary, we were better fed than ever.In his article in The New Atlantis, Charles C. Mann explains that agricultural innovation — from improved fertilization and irrigation to genetic modification — has brought global hunger to a record low.Today on Faster, Please! — The Podcast, I chat with Mann about the agricultural history they didn't teach you in school.Mann is a science journalist who has worked as a correspondent for The Atlantic, Science, and Wired magazines, and whose work has been featured in many other major publications. He is also the author of 1491: New Revelations of the Americas Before Columbus and1493: Uncovering the New World Columbus Created, as well as The Wizard and the Prophet: Two Remarkable Scientists and Their Dueling Visions to Shape Tomorrow's World.In This Episode* Intro to the Agricultural Revolution (2:04)* Water infrastructure (13:11)* Feeding the masses (18:20)* Indigenous America (25:20)Below is a lightly edited transcript of our conversation. Intro to the Agricultural Revolution (2:04)I don't think that people realize that the fact that most people on earth, almost the average person on earth, can feed themselves is a novel phenomenon. It's something that basically wasn't true since as far back as we know.Pethokoukis: What got my attention was a couple of pieces that you've worked on for The New Atlantis magazine looking at the issue of how modern Americans take for granted the remarkable systems and infrastructure that provide us comfort, safety, and a sense of luxury that would've been utterly unimaginable even to the wealthiest people of a hundred years ago or 200 years ago.Let me start off by asking you: Does it matter that we do take that for granted and that we also kind of don't understand how our world works?Mann: I would say yes, very much. It matters because these systems undergird the prosperity that we have, the good fortune that we have to be alive now, but they're always one generation away from collapse. If they aren't maintained, upgraded and modernized, they'll fall apart. They just won't stand there. So we have to be aware of this. We have to keep our eye on the ball, otherwise we won't have these things.The second thing is that, if we don't know how our society works, as citizens, we're simply not going to make very good choices about what to do with that society. I feel like both sides in our current political divide are kind of taking their eye off the ball. It's important to have good roads, it's important to have clean water, it's important to have a functioning public health system, it's important to have an agricultural system that works. It doesn't really matter who you are. And if we don't keep these things going, life will be unnecessarily bad for a lot of people, and that's just crazy to do.Is this a more recent phenomenon? If I would've asked people 50 years ago, “Explain to me how our infrastructure functions, how we get water, how we get electricity,” would they have a better idea? Is it just because things are more complicated today that we have no idea how our food gets here or why when we turn the faucet, clean water comes out?The answer is “yes” in a sort of trivial sense, in that many more people were involved in producing food, a much greater percentage of the population was involved in producing food 50 years ago. The same thing was true for the people who were building infrastructure 50 years ago.But I also think it's generally true that people's parents saw the change and knew it. So that is very much the case and, in a sense, I think we're victims of our own success. These kinds of things have brought us so much prosperity that we can afford to do crazy things like become YouTube influencers, or podcasters, or freelance writers. You don't really have any connection with how the society goes because we're sort of surfing on this wave of luxury that our ancestors bequeathed to us.I don't know how much time you spend on social media, Charles — I'm sure I spend too much — but I certainly sense that many people today, younger people especially, don't have a sense of how someone lived 50 years ago, 100 years ago, and there was just a lot more physical suffering. And certainly, if you go back far enough, you could not take for granted that you would have tomatoes in your supermarket year round, that you would have water in the house and that water would be clean. What I found really interesting — you did a piece on food and a piece on water — in the food piece you note that, in the 1980s, that was a real turning point that the average person on earth had enough to eat all the time, and rather than becoming an issue of food production, it became an issue of distribution, of governance. I think most people would be surprised of that statistic even though it's 40 years old.I don't think that people realize that the fact that most people on earth, almost the average person on earth, can feed themselves is a novel phenomenon. It's something that basically wasn't true since as far back as we know. That's this enormous turning point, and there are many of these turning points. Obviously, the introduction of antibiotics for . . . public health, which is another one of these articles they're going to be working on . . .Just about 100 years ago today, when President Coolidge was [president], his son went to play tennis at the White House tennis courts, and because he was lazy, or it was fashionable, or something, he didn't put on socks. He got a blister on his toe, the toe got infected, and he died. 100 years ago, the president of the United States, who presumably had the best healthcare available to anybody in the world, was unable to save his beloved son when the son got a trivial blister that got infected. The change from that to now is mind boggling.You've written about the Agricultural Revolution and why the great fears 40 or 50 years ago of mass starvation didn't happen. I find that an endlessly interesting topic, both for its importance and for the fact it just seems to be so underappreciated to this day, even when it was sort of obvious to people who pay attention that something was happening, it still seemed not to penetrate the public consciousness. I wonder if you could just briefly talk to me about that revolution and how it happened.The question is, how did it go from “The Population Bomb” written in 1968, a huge bestseller, hugely influential, predicting that there is going to be hundreds of millions of people dying of mass starvation, followed by other equally impassioned, equally important warnings. There's one called “Famine, 1975!,” written a few years before, that predicted mass famines in 1975. There's “The Limits to Growth.” I went to college in the '70s and these were books that were on the curriculum, and they were regarded as contemporary classics, and they all proved to be wrong.The reason is that, although they were quite correct about the fact that the human race was reproducing at that time faster than ever before, they didn't realize two things: The first is that as societies get more affluent, and particularly as societies get more affluent and give women more opportunities, birth rates decline. So that this was obviously, if you looked at history, going to be a temporary phenomenon of whatever length it was be, but it was not going to be infinite.The second was there was this enormous effort spurred by this guy named Norman Borlaug, but with tons of other people involved, to take modern science and apply it to agriculture, and that included these sort of three waves of innovation. Now, most innovation is actually just doing older technologies better, which is a huge source of progress, and the first one was irrigation. Irrigation has been around since forever. It's almost always been done badly. It's almost always not been done systematically. People started doing it better. They still have a lot of problems with it, but it's way better, and now 40 percent, roughly, of the crops in the world that are produced are produced by irrigation.The second is the introduction of fertilizer. There's two German scientists, Fritz Haber and Carl Bosch, who essentially developed the ways of taking fertilizer and making lots and lots of it in factories. I could go into more detail if you want, but that's the essential thing. This had never been done before, and suddenly cheap industrial fertilizer became available all over the world, and Vaclav Smil . . . he's sort of an environmental scientist of every sort, in Manitoba has calculated that roughly 40 percent of the people on earth today would not be alive if it wasn't for that.And then the third was the development of much better, much higher-yielding seeds, and that was the part that Norman Borlaug had done. These packaged together of irrigation fertilizer and seeds yielded what's been called the Green Revolution, doubled, tripled, or even quadrupled grain yields across the world, particularly with wheat and rice. The result is the world we live in today. When I was growing up, when you were growing up, your parents may have said to you, as they did me, Oh, eat your vegetables, there are kids that are starving in Asia.” Right? That was what was told and that was the story that was told in books like “The Population Bomb,” and now Asia's our commercial rival. When you go to Bangkok, that was a place that was hungry and now it's gleaming skyscrapers and so forth. It's all based on this fact that people are able to feed themselves through the combination of these three factors,That story, the story of mass-starvation that the Green Revolution irrigation prevented from coming true. I think a surprising number of people still think that story is relevant today, just as some people still think the population will be exploding when it seems clear it probably will not be exploding. It will rise, but then it's going to start coming down at some point this century. I think those messages just don't get through. Just like most people don't know Norm Borlaug, the Haber-Bosch process, which school kids should know. They don't know any of this. . . Borlaug won the Nobel Prize, right?Right. He won the Nobel Peace Prize. I'll tell you a funny story —I think he won it in the same year that “The Population Bomb” came out.It was just a couple years off. But you're right, the central point is right, and the funny thing is . . . I wrote another book a while back that talked about this and about the way environmentalists think about the world, and it's called the “Wizard and the Prophet” and Borlaug was the wizard of it. I thought, when I proposed it, that it would be easy. He was such an important guy, there'd be tons of biographies about him. And to this day, there isn't a real serious scholarly biography of the guy. This is a person who has done arguably more to change human life than any other person in the 20th century, certainly up in the top dozen or so. There's not a single serious biography of him.How can that be?It's because we're tremendously disconnected. It's a symptom of what I'm talking about. We're tremendously disconnected from these systems, and it's too bad because they're interesting! They're actually quite interesting to figure out: How do you get water to eight billion people? How do you get . . . It is a huge challenge, and some of the smartest people you've ever met are working on it every day, but they're working on it over here, and the public attention is over here.Water infrastructure (13:11). . . the lack of decent, clean, fresh water is the world's worst immediate environmental problem. I think people probably have some vague idea about agriculture, the Agricultural Revolution, how farming has changed, but I think, as you just referred to, the second half, water — utter mystery to people. Comes out of a pipe. The challenges of doing that in a rich country are hard. The challenges doing a country not so rich, also hard. Tell me what you find interesting about that topic.Well, whereas the story about agriculture is basically a good story: We've gotten better at it. We have a whole bunch of technical innovations that came in the 20th century and humankind is better off than ever before. With water, too, we are better off than ever before, but the maddening thing is we could be really well off because the technology is basically extremely old.There's a city, a very ancient city called Mohenjo-daro that I write about a bit in this article that was in essentially on the Pakistan-India border, 2600 BC. And they had a fully functioning water system that, in its basics, was no different than the water system that we have, or that London has, or that Paris has. So this is an ancient, ancient technology, yet we still have two billion people on the planet that don't have access to adequate water. In fact, even though we know how to do it, the lack of decent, clean, fresh water is the world's worst immediate environmental problem. And a small thing that makes me nuts is that climate change — which is real and important — gets a lot of attention, but there are people dying of not getting good water now.On top of it, even in rich countries like us, our water system is antiquated. The great bulk of it was built in the '40s, '50s, and '60s, and, like any kind of physical system, it ages, and every couple years, various engineering bodies, water bodies, the EPA, and so forth puts out a report saying, “Hey, we really have to fix the US water system and the numbers keep mounting up.” And Democrats, Republicans, they all ignore this.Who is working on the water issue in poorer countries?There you have a very ad hoc group of people. The answer is part of it's the Food and Agricultural Organization because most water in most countries is used for irrigation to grow food. You also have the World Health Organization, these kinds of bodies. You have NGOs working on it. What you don't have in those countries like our country is the government taking responsibility for coordinating something that's obviously in the national interest.So you have these things where, very periodically — a government like China has done this, Jordan has done this, Bolivia has done this, countries all over the world have done this — and they say, “Okay, we haven't been able to provide freshwater. Let's bring in a private company.” And the private company then invests all this money in infrastructure, which is expensive. Then, because it's a private company, it has to make that money back, and so it charges people for a lot of money for this, and the people are very unhappy because suddenly they're paying a quarter of their income for water, which is what I saw in Southwest China: water riots because people are paying so much for water.In other words, one of the things that government can do is sort of spread these costs over everybody, but instead they concentrate it on the users, Almost universally, these privatization efforts have led to tremendous political unhappiness because the government has essentially shifted responsibility for coordinating and doing these things and imposed a cost on a narrow minority of the users.Are we finally getting on top of the old water infrastructure in this country? It seems like during the Biden administration they had a big infrastructure bill. Do you happen to know if we are finally getting that system upgraded?Listen, I will be the only person who probably ever interviews you who's actually had to fix a water main as a summer job. I spent [it at] my local Public Works Department where we'd have to fix water mains, and this was a number of years ago, and even a number of years ago, those pipes were really, really old. It didn't take much for them to get a main break.I'm one of those weird people who is bothered by this. All I can tell you is we have a lot of aging infrastructure. The last estimate that I've seen came before this sort of sudden jerky rise of construction costs, which, if you're at all involved in building, is basically all the people in the construction industry talk about. At that point, the estimate was that it was $1.2 trillion to fix the infrastructure that we have in the United States. I am sure it is higher now. I am delighted that the Biden people passed this infrastructure — would've been great if they passed permitting reform and a couple of other things to make it easier to spend the money, but okay. I would like to believe that the Trump people would take up the baton and go on this.Feeding the masses (18:20)I do worry that the kind of regulations, and rules, and ideas that we put into place to try and make agriculture more like this picture that we have in our head will end up inadvertently causing suffering for the people who are struggling.We're still going to have another two billion people, maybe, on this earth. Are we going to be able to feed them all?Yeah, I think that there's no question. The question is what we're going to be able to feed them? Are we going to be able to feed them all, filet mignon and truffled . . . whatever they put truffle oil on, and all that? Not so sure about that.All organic vegetables.At the moment, that seems really implausible, and there's a sort of fundamental argument going on here. There's a lot of people, again, both right and left, who are sort of freaked out by the scale that modern agriculture operates on. You fly over the middle-west and you see all those circles of center-pivot irrigation, they plowed under, in the beginning of the 20th century, 100 million acres of prairie to produce all that. And it's done with enormous amounts of capital, and it was done also partly by moving people out so that you could have this enormous stuff. The result is it creates a system that . . . doesn't match many people's vision of the friendly family farmer that they grew up with. It's a giant industrial process and people are freaked out by the scale. They don't trust these entities, the Cargills and the ADMs, and all these huge companies that they see as not having their interests at heart.It's very understandable. I live in a small town, we have a farm down there, and Jeremy runs it, and I'm very happy to see Jeremy. There's no Jeremy at Archer Daniels Midland. So the result is that there's a big revulsion against that, and people want to downsize the scale, and they point to very real environmental problems that big agriculture has, and they say that that is reason for this. The great problem is that in every single study that I am aware of, the sort of small, local farms don't produce as much food per acre or per hectare as the big, soulless industrial processes. So if you're concerned about feeding everybody, that's something you have to really weigh in your head, or heavy in your heart.That sort of notion of what a farm should look like and what good food is, that kind of almost romantic notion really, to me, plays into the sort of anti-growth or the degrowth people who seemed to be saying that farms could only be this one thing — probably they don't even remember those farms anymore — that I saw in a storybook. It's like a family farm, everything's grown local, not a very industrial process, but you're talking about a very different world. Maybe that's a world they want, but I don't know if that's a world you want if you're a poor person in this world.No, and like I said, I love going to the small farm next to us and talking to Jeremy and he says, “Oh look, we've just got these tomatoes,” it's great, but I have to pay for that privilege. And it is a privilege because Jeremy is barely making it and charging twice as much as the supermarket. There's no economies of scale for him. He still has to buy all the equipment, but he's putting it over 20 acres instead of 2000 acres. In addition, it's because it's this hyper-diverse farm — which is wonderful; they get to see the strawberries, and the tomatoes, and all the different things — it means he has to hire much more labor than it would be if he was just specializing in one thing. So his costs are inevitably much, much higher, and, therefore, I have to pay a lot more to keep him going. That's fine for me; I'm a middle-class person, I like food, this can be my hobby going there.I'd hate to have somebody tell me it's bad, but it's not a system that is geared for people who are struggling. There are just a ton of people all over the world who are struggling. They're better off than they were 100 years ago, but they're still struggling. I do worry that the kind of regulations, and rules, and ideas that we put into place to try and make agriculture more like this picture that we have in our head will end up inadvertently causing suffering for the people who are struggling.To make sure everybody can get fed in the future, do we need a lot more innovation?Innovation is always good. I would say that we do, and the kinds of innovation we need are not often what people imagine. For example, it's pretty clear that parts of the world are getting drier, and therefore irrigation is getting more difficult. The American Southwest is a primary candidate, and you go to the Safford Valley, which I did a few years ago — the Safford Valley is in southeast Arizona and it's hotter than hell there. I went there and it's 106 degrees and there's water from the Colorado River, 800 miles away, being channeled there, and they're growing Pima cotton. Pima cotton is this very good fine cotton that they use to make fancy clothes, and it's a great cash crop for farmers, but growing it involves channeling water from the Colorado 800 miles, and then they grow it by what's called flood irrigation, which is where you just fill the field with an inch of water. I was there actually to see an archeologist who's a water engineer, and I said to him, “Gee, it's hot! How much that water is evaporated?” And he said, “Oh, all of it.”So we need to think about that kind of thing if the Colorado is going to run out of water, which it is now. There's ways you can do it, you can possibly genetically modify cotton to use less water. You could drip irrigation, which is a much more efficient form of irrigation, it's readily available, but it's expensive. So you could try to help farmers do that. I think if you cut the soft costs, which is called the regulatory costs of farming, you might be able to pay for it in that way. That would be one type of innovation. Another type of thing you could do is to do a different kind of farming which is called civil pastoral systems, where you grow tree crops and then you grow cattle underneath, and that uses dramatically less water. It's being done in Sonora, just across the border and the tree crops — trees are basically wild. People don't breed them because it takes so long, but we now have the tools to breed them, and so you could make highly productive trees with cattle underneath and have a system that produces a lot of calories or a lot of good stuff. That's all the different kinds of innovation that we could do. Just some of the different kinds of innovation we could do and all would help.Indigenous America (25:20)Part of the reason I wrote these things is that I realized it's really interesting and I didn't learn anything about it in school.Great articles in The New Atlantis, big fan of “Wizard and the Prophet,” but I'm going to take one minute and ask you about your great books talking about the story of the indigenous peoples of the Americas. If I just want to travel in the United States and I'm interested in finding out more about Native Americans in the United States, where would you tell me to go?One of my favorite places just it's so amazing, is Chaco Canyon, and that's in the Four Corners area — that whole Four Corners area is quite incredible — and Chaco Canyon is a sign that native people could build amazing stuff, and native people could be crazy, in my opinion. It's in the middle of nowhere, it has no water, and for reasons that are probably spiritual and religious, they built an enormous number of essentially castles in this canyon, and they're incredible.The biggest one, Pueblo Bonito as it's called now, it's like 800 rooms. They're just enormous. And you can go there, and you can see these places, and you can just walk around, and it is incredible. You drive up a little bit to Mesa Verde and there's hundreds of these incredible cliff dwellings. What seems to have happened — I'm going to put this really informally and kind of jokingly to you, not the way that an archeologist would talk about it or I would write about it, but what looks like it happened is that the Chaco Canyon is this big canyon, and on the good side that gets the southern exposure is all these big houses. And then the minions and the hoi polloi lived on the other side, and it looks like, around 800, 900, they just got really tired of serving the kings and they had something like a democratic revolution, and they just left, most of them, and founded the Pueblos, which is these intensely democratic self-governing bodies that are kind of like what Thomas Jefferson thought the United States should be.Then it's like all the doctors, and the lawyers, and the MBAs, and the rich guys went up to Mesa Verde and they started off their own little kingdoms and they all fought with each other. So you have these crazy cliff dwellings where it's impossible to get in and there's hundreds of people living in these niches in these cliffs, and then that blew up too. So you could see history, democracy, and really great architecture all in one place.If someone asked me for my advice about changing the curriculum in school, one, people would leave school knowing who the heroes of progress and heroes of the Agricultural Revolution were. And I think they'd also know a lot more about pre-Columbian history of the Americas. I think they should know about it but I also think it's just super interesting, though of course you've brought it to life in a beautiful way.Thank you very much, and I couldn't agree with you more. Part of the reason I wrote these things is that I realized it's really interesting and I didn't learn anything about it in school.On sale everywhere The Conservative Futurist: How To Create the Sci-Fi World We Were PromisedFaster, Please! is a reader-supported publication.

2:30 Green Scam Implodes: Climate Startups Swap CO2 Lies for Fighter Jets and Depopulation Bombs      Climate startups once preaching “save the planet” are now churning out jet fighters and AI war machines—guzzling fossil fuels and spewing bombs like there's no tomorrow!

Das Paul-Ehrlich-Institut: nichts hören - nichts sehen - nichts melden Das Paul-Ehrlich-Institut (PEI) in Langen ist die deutsche Behörde für Impfstoffsicherheit. Seine Aufgabe wäre es eigentlich, für die Sicherheit der in Deutschland verwendeten Impfstoffe zu sorgen. Dazu gehört im Besonderen die Erfassung und Auswertung von Meldungen mutmaßlicher Impf-Nebenwirkungen. In der heutigen Folge von „Medizin für Mitdenker“ berichtet Dr. med. Sybille Freund von ihren Erfahrungen mit dem PEI, das nicht besonders interessiert daran zu sein scheint, ein realistisches Bild der Impf-Nebenwirkungen zu erhalten. Nichts hören - nichts sehen - nichts melden - eine fatale Einstellung für eine so wichtige Behörde! Alle Podcastfolgen samt Stichwort-Register finden Sie hier: https://doktorfreund.de/podcast

He is the author of The Population Bomb. His new book is Before They Vanish: Saving Nature's Populations—and Ourselves.

Marian Tupy, a senior fellow at the Cato Institute, discusses his book "Super Abundance" with Gene Tunny. Tupy argues that resources are becoming more abundant relative to global population, a concept he calls "super abundance." He explains that human ingenuity has led to cheaper commodities over time. Tupy refutes Malthusian predictions of resource scarcity, citing examples like the Haber-Bosch process for synthetic fertilizer. He also addresses environmental concerns, emphasizing that economic growth and technological advancements can mitigate issues like ocean and air pollution and resource depletion.If you have any questions, comments, or suggestions for Gene, please email him at contact@economicsexplored.com  or send a voice message via https://www.speakpipe.com/economicsexplored. About this episode's guest: Marian Tupy, Cato InstituteMarian L.

In 1968, a book called The Population Bomb written by entomologist Paul Ehrlich helped spark panic in the west that the global population was reaching a breaking point, saying too many human beings would soon cause widespread famine and social chaos. This view that a growing human population is an existential threat to humanity remains widespread to this day. For example, University of Chicago political philosopher Martha Nussbaum recently stated that given the world's current population, “no one should be having any children.” Contemporary empirical evidence, however, points in exactly the opposite direction. Deaths are already outpacing births in many regions of the world, resulting in precipitous declines in national populations. Is this good news for humanity? Are public policies aimed at population control justified? Is there such a thing as an ideal population size? Should anyone care about whether others choose to have children or not? A listener asks whether we should continue going to confession if we keep committing the same sin over and over again. 00:00 | Intro 01:49 | Seminarians kick off school year 03:00 | Assessing population decreases across the globe 05:36 | Increased attitudes against having children 08:24 | Unpacking “culture of death,” ego-drama, and theo-drama 11:33 | Childbearing as a societal good 12:35 | Population capping through public policy 14:07 | Human population and the environment 17:03 | Utilitarianism as a faulty moral theory for addressing population concerns 18:51 | Foregoing childbirth to spare potential children pain 21:20 | Foregoing childbirth to favor economic security 22:33 | Foregoing childbirth for lack of desire 24:55 | Old age without children 28:00 | The centrality of fruitfulness 29:14 | Pope St. Paul VI's prophetic ban on artificial contraception 30:57 | How does the Church look forward? 34:05 | Listener question: Does repeating sins disqualify me from Confession? 36:35 | Join the Word on Fire Institute   Links: Data for “Population Bomb”: https://www.smithsonianmag.com/innovation/book-incited-worldwide-fear-overpopulation-180967499/ Article on Martha Nussbaum: https://www.opindia.com/2024/05/india-has-too-many-people-they-dont-have-enough-to-eat-philosopher-martha-nussbaum-makes-drastic-claims-population-reduction/ Quote citation: https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2024/apr/16/bill-maher-inflames-abortion-debate-by-saying-its-/ Abortion statistic: https://www.guttmacher.org/fact-sheet/induced-abortion-worldwide?gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAjwk8e1BhALEiwAc8MHiKjFruJDz0AbdPoR1ttiQT2qJc_uCiFWCE6o9rhvoaxgKyuODBPTlhoC1WAQAvD_BwE Pew Research citation: https://www.pewresearch.org/social-trends/2024/07/25/the-experiences-of-u-s-adults-who-dont-have-children/ Word on Fire Institute: https://institute.wordonfire.org/ NOTE: Do you like this podcast? Become a Word on Fire IGNITE member!

The Other Side of the Story with Tom Harris and Todd Royal – Nuclear power – just the name itself conjures up fears from worry-wart end-of-the-world doomsters.

With cheap, abundant energy, the attempt clearly would be made to...

Peter Bernhardt reviews Ehlich's memoir and reflects on how timing, largely beyond anyone's control, is a major contributor to outcomes in our lives.

Arsenic compounds have been known since ancient times, with the word "arsenic" originating from the Greek word arsenikon, meaning "yellow orpiment". The element itself was possibly first observed in the 13th century by Albertus Magnus, who noted a metal-like substance when heating the mineral arsenicum. In the 17th-19th centuries, arsenic was frequently used for murder due to the lack of specific symptoms and the difficulty in detecting it. It became known as the "poison of kings" and the "king of poisons". Arsenic was also used in the Victorian era by women to improve their complexion, leading to accidental poisonings. Arsenic compounds began to be used in agriculture as insecticides, herbicides and wood preservatives in the late 19th century. In 1900, Paul Ehrlich developed the first effective arsenic-based drug, Salvarsan, to treat syphilis. Arsenic was also used as a war gas called Lewisite during WWII, leading to the development of the antidote British Anti-Lewisite (BAL). Today, arsenic is still used in some pesticides and wood preservatives, but its use has declined due to toxicity concerns. The element itself is produced by heating arsenopyrite ore in the absence of air. While arsenic has a long history of use, its toxicity has also made it notorious as a deadly poison throughout the centuries. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/juliusmanuel/message

Kathleen Mogelgaard is President and CEO of the Population Institute, where she directs the organization's advocacy and public education activities.  Population Institute advocates for gender equality and universal access to sexual and reproductive health services to improve lives, promote human rights, save the planet, and build a better tomorrow. In 2022, the world's population surpassed 8 billion people, and according to demographers at the United Nations, global population may add another 2.4 billion before leveling off toward the end of this century. The Population Bomb, a 1968 book co-authored by Paul R. Ehrlich, predicted worldwide famines due to overpopulation, as well as other major societal upheavals, and advocated immediate action to limit population growth. A counterpart organization with the Population Institute is the UN Population Fund (UNFPA), the global sexual and reproductive health agency that strives for a world where every pregnancy is wanted, every childbirth is safe and every young person's potential is fulfilled.

On this episode, Nate is joined by ER doctor, nuclear power advocate, and podcast host Chris Keefer for a broad ranging conversation including the basics of nuclear energy, how he engages with opposing opinions, and hypotheticals for a future medical system. Coming from a broad background, Chris understands what it means to have a human to human conversation and put together the pieces of our systemic puzzle in a clear and compelling way. What role could nuclear play for our future energy needs - and how are different countries making use of it today? How can we prioritize the health and safety of people under energetic and resource constraints? Most of all, how do we listen to others that we don't agree with - regardless of the issue - to foster the diverse perspectives necessary to navigate the coming challenges of the human predicament?  About Chris Keefer: Chris Keefer MD, CCFP-EM is a Staff Emergency Physician at St Joseph's Health Centre and a Lecturer for the Department of Family and Community Medicine at the University of Toronto.

Earth Day is one of those holidays that we always forget about until it hits. Do you celebrate it and if so, why have you given in to the doom-ending apocalyptic predictions of Paul Ehrlich? Also on the show, we talk about when the right time to leave a block party is? Would it be when there are lots of strangers, when everyone is strapped, or when the potato salad runs out?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

I just got home from Algonquin Park. I got the privilege to spend the past week tracking Wolves, Moose, Martens, Grouse, Flying Squirrels, and so many other creatures throughout the length of the park. We woke up at 6am every morning and were out by 7, scouting for new trails. When were were through with our day we came back to hit the books and share stories of all that we'd seen. It was magical, inspiring and motivating. Restful as much as exhausting. One animal I spent some time learning about over the week was the Pine Siskin (Spinus pinus), a small brown finch like bird edged in yellow who flew down on to the new snow, skipped, hopped and flew off again. The Pine Siskin was my focal species for the week. Sadly on our last day, two dead Pine Siskins were found on highway 60, hit by vehicles as they were on the road, consuming the de-icing salts. I got to hold the birds and take a closer look at their small amazing bodies in the sunlight pouring through the window at the wildlife research station. I measured their feet, admired their plumage, and wondered at how they could survive so long out there in the cold and snow. What were they eating to warm their fragile little bodies through the Winter nights? If they hadn't died on the road, where would they go to in the Spring? I decided on the way home I would do a little research and make the next show all about them. Here's to the Siskins and all they've taught and inspired in me.

In this episode, we look back to the 1790's when the world's population had reached one billion and Thomas Malthus introduced his theory that the world was facing sever famines and starvation. Then we move to the 1960's when the world's population reached three billion and Paul Ehrlich wrote a book titled: Population Bomb.

(NOTAS COMPLETAS Y ENLACES DEL CAPÍTULO AQUÍ: https://www.jaimerodriguezdesantiago.com/kaizen/184-la-utilidad-de-lo-inutil/)¿Es o no maravilloso este fragmento de una entrevista al escritor Álvaro Cunqueiro? El saber está comenzando a ser considerado en todas partes, no como un bien en sí mismo, sino como un medio. No nos gusta pensar que alguien esté disfrutando de la vida, sin más, por mucho que sea ese disfrute. Sentimos que todo el  mundo debería estar haciendo algo útil. Y no hay duda de que el conocimiento «útil« es muy útil. Ese conocimiento ha hecho el mundo moderno. Sin él no tendríamos máquinas, ni automóviles, ni trenes, ni aviones. Aunque tampoco publicidad, ni propaganda. Ese conocimiento moderno ha supuesto una mejora increíble en la salud y, a la vez, nos ha enseñado cómo borrar ciudades enteras del mapa con una bomba. Todo lo que distingue a nuestro mundo del de tiempos pasados tiene su origen en el conocimiento «útil». Y aunque seguramente parezca que estoy hablando de nuestros días, esto que te acabo de decir es casi literalmente, lo que decía Bertrand Russell al principio de aquel texto que cita Cunqueiro. Y que fue escrito en 1935. En aquel artículo, Russell defendía el valor del conocimiento que nos parece inútil. Decía que podía llevarnos a una vida más rica y a tener un mayor sentido de propósito; que podía hacer que las cosas desagradables lo fueran un poco menos, y que las agradables lo fueran más. Además de que, ese conocimiento que hoy nos parece inútil, puede ser muy útil mañana. Y es que, en el fondo, de lo que hablaba Russell era de la importancia de la curiosidad intelectual y del placer de aprender por aprender. Y de eso, precisamente, vamos a hablar un poco hoy, sin demasiado rumbo, en otro de esos capítulos de ideas a medio conectar que me salen de vez en cuando, sea o no útil. ¿Te gusta kaizen?

Paul Ehrlich's warnings about a population bomb never really took hold, but America and the rest of the world has lived with an expectation that the human species will continue to grow.  In the next several decades, there's every indication that, here in America, and elsewhere in the world, that will not be the case.  … Read More Read More

For decades, we heard alarming claims from experts like Malthus in the 1800s and Paul Ehrlich in the late 1900s, telling us that unless things changed dramatically, population growth would spell disaster for the world. Today, we will discuss the predictions, what happened, and what the future will look like.Sponsored By:Good Ranchers: Go to https://go.goodranchers.com/nickfreitas and use promo code "Nick" for $25 off your order + free shipping.---------------------------------------------Join our community chat: https://bit.ly/43zQDLNSubscribe to the MTA channel: https://bit.ly/MTAVideoYT---------------------------------------------Subscribe on Apple Podcasts: https://apple.co/3aYSrD9Subscribe on Spotify: https://spoti.fi/2UUAVKDSubscribe to The Why Minutes: @thewhyminutes ---------------------------------------------Find Nick: Instagram: www.instagram.com/nickjfreitas/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/NickFreitasVACommunity Chat: https://bit.ly/43zQDLNTwitter: https://twitter.com/NickForVAYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@NickjfreitasPodcast channel: https://www.youtube.com/@MakingTheArgumentTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@nickfreitas3.0

Original Release on April 20th, 2023: "Smart chemotherapy" could change the way that cancer is treated, potentially opening up a $140 billion market over the next 15 years.----- Transcript -----Welcome to Thoughts on the Market. I'm Mark Purcell, Head of Morgan Stanley's European Pharmaceuticals Team. Along with my colleagues bringing you a variety of perspectives, today I'll talk about the concept of Smart Chemotherapy. It's Thursday, the 20th of April at 2 p.m. in London. Cancer is still the second leading cause of death globally, accounting for approximately 10 million deaths worldwide in 2020. Despite recent advances in areas like immuno-oncology, we still rely heavily on chemotherapy as the mainstay in the treatment of many cancers. Chemotherapy originated in the early 1900s when German chemist Paul Ehrlich attempted to develop "Magic Bullets", these are chemicals that would kill cancer cells while sparing healthy tissues. The 1960s saw the development of chemotherapy based on Ehrlich's work, and this approach, now known as traditional chemotherapy, has been in wide use since then. Nowadays, it accounts for more than 37% of cancer prescriptions and more than half of patients with colorectal, pancreatic, ovarian and stomach cancers are still treated with traditional chemo. But traditional chemo has many drawbacks and some significant limitations. So here's where "Smart Chemotherapy" comes in. Targeted therapies including antibodies to treat cancer were first developed in the late 1990s. These innovative approaches offer a safer, more effective solution that can be used earlier in treatment and in combination with other cancer medicines. "Smart Chemo" uses antibodies as the guidance system to find the cancer, and once the target is reached, releases chemotherapy inside the cancer cells. Think of it as a marriage of biology and chemistry called an antibody drug conjugate, an ADC. It's essentially a biological missile that hones in on the cancer and avoids collateral damage to the healthy tissues. The first ADC drug was approved for a form of leukemia in the year 2000, but it's taken about 20 years to perfect this "biological missile" to target solid tumors, which are far more complex and harder to infiltrate into. We're now at a major inflection point with 87 new ADC drugs entering development in the past two years alone. We believe smart chemotherapy could open up a $140 billion market over the next 15 years or so, up from a $5 billion sales base in 2022. This would make ADCs one of the biggest growth areas across Global Biopharma, led by colorectal, lung and breast cancer. Large biopharma companies are increasingly aware of the enormous potential of ADC drugs and are more actively deploying capital towards smart chemotherapy. It's important to note, though, that while a smart chemotherapy revolution is well underway in breast and bladder cancer, the focus is now shifting to earlier lines of treatment and combination approaches. The potential to replace traditional chemotherapy in other solid tumors is completely untapped. A year from now, we expect ADC drugs to deliver major advances in the treatment of lung cancer and bladder cancer, as well as really important proof of concept data for colorectal cancer, which is arguably one of the biggest unmet needs out there. Given vastly improved outcomes for cancer patients, we believe that "Smart Chemotherapy" is well on the way to replacing traditional chemotherapy, and we expect the market to start pricing this in over the coming months. Thanks for listening. If you enjoy this show, please leave us a review on Apple Podcasts and share Thoughts on the Market with a friend or colleague today.

John Stossel 810K subscribers 945,727 views Jan 10, 2023 After 3 years of Covid, what lessons can we learn? Did lockdowns work? What about closing schools? What countries did best? ***** YouTube age-restricted the original video I posted, which vastly reduces the number of people who will see it. I have decided to edit out the parts that may have caused the restriction: a clip showing Australian Police choking a woman for not wearing a mask, Chinese authorities dragging a man out of his home, and protestors clashing with police ***** ———— To get our new weekly video from Stossel TV, sign up here: https://www.johnstossel.com/#subscribe ———— It turns out that America's lockdowns did NOT work. Even though the media praised New York governor Andrew Cuomo for an "amazing job,” accounting for age, his state ended up with more deaths than "irresponsible" Florida. Meanwhile, some countries, like Australia, imposed brutal lockdowns. My producer crunched the numbers at MaximumTruth.Substack.com and found that lockdowns DID save some lives. But they weren't worth it. The video above explains why.   https://youtu.be/QExJbWWwXDc The Jones Act Makes Shipping More Expensive John Stossel 810K subscribers 212,803 views Feb 28, 2023 American shipbuilders have a disgusting monopoly. I confront a shipping lobbyist who uses government to ban competition. ———— To get our new weekly video from Stossel TV, sign up here: https://www.johnstossel.com/#subscribe ———— The Jones Act, a stupid law with a stupid name, restricts domestic shipping to vessels built in America and crewed by Americans. That hurts consumers. It really hurts suffering people who need supplies after natural disasters. Unions and big shipping companies love this dumb law because it protects them from competition. “Your rules really hurt people,” I say to a lobbyist. "They don't,” she replies. "What the Jones Act does is ensure reliable, dedicated service." Give me a break.   https://youtu.be/Xp-PdF3MmuE Classified—Government's Dirty Secret John Stossel 810K subscribers 165,740 views. Feb 21, 2023 Classifying genuine secrets can keep us safe. Overclassifying makes us less safe. ———— To get our new weekly video from Stossel TV, sign up here: https://www.johnstossel.com/#subscribe ———— We've heard about the top secret documents found at the homes of Donald Trump and Joe Biden. The media call it a national security crisis. Bunk. The truth is, the word classified usually means very little. Government classifies three things every second. “A lot of top secrets are nothing of the kind,” historian Matthew Connelly tells us. Many classified “secrets” are nonsense or embarrassing proof of government incompetence. I'll show you why the problem is much bigger than Presidents taking classified documents home.   https://youtu.be/GZmVLpfunzE  The Scaremongers Are Wrong John Stossel 810K subscribers 583,731 views Jan 24, 2023 Have you heard? The world is about to end! No…it isn't. ———— To get our new weekly video from Stossel TV, sign up here: https://www.johnstossel.com/#subscribe ———— Throughout history, people predicted the end of humanity. Recently, 60 Minutes featured doomsayer Paul Ehrlich. They treated him like an expert, even though his dire prophecies have repeatedly been proven utterly wrong. Instead of interviewing people like Ehrlich, 60 minutes should talk to Marian Tupy, the creator of humanprogress.org. “If you sell the apocalypse, people feel like you are deep and that you care,” Tupy tells me. "But if you are selling rational optimism....” Rational optimism is right. Scaremongers like 60 Minutes are wrong.   https://youtu.be/NLkfpjJoNkA Even Greenpeace Says “Most Plastic Simply Cannot Be Recycled.” John Stossel 810K subscribers 668,796 views Jan 17, 2023 For decades we've been told recycling helps the Earth. It really doesn't. ———— To get our new weekly video from Stossel TV, sign up here: https://www.johnstossel.com/#subscribe ———— Recycling is a “sacrament of the green religion,” says Science Writer John Tierney. He once debunked recycling claims in an infamous New York Times column “Recycling is Garbage.” “It's even more true today,” Tierney tells me. Greenpeace now says plastic recycling is a “dead-end street.” Often it's also a costly scam.   https://youtu.be/9Zi1cLJyBoQ Not Your Father's Comic Books John Stossel 810K subscribers 130,719 views Dec 20, 2022 Comic book creator Eric July says American comics now lose to Japanese companies because they're overrun by "advocates of social justice.” He's right. ———— To get our new weekly video from Stossel TV, sign up here: https://www.johnstossel.com/#subscribe ———— Superman's son, and Batman's sidekick Robin, are now bisexual. A new version of Spiderman is a lesbian in a wheelchair. Iron Man is a teenage Black girl. "So what?” you may ask. “Isn't more diversity good?" Changing established characters, says July, was “obviously something that was done for political gain,” and that's why Marvel and DC have lost market share. But Marvel and DC don't seem to mind. They still create woke nonsense, like characters named “Snowflake” and “Safespace.” Really. July sees an opportunity. He just released his first comic, with plans for more.   https://youtu.be/sghEEvOWfmQ Classic Stossel: Fake Farmers John Stossel 810K subscribers 678,414 views Mar 10, 2023 Lawyers, and others who have never farmed in their lives, got rich off of taxpayer money – all through a lawsuit against the USDA that was supposed to compensate black farmers for past discrimination. One black farmer tells me, lawyers said "if you had a potted plant… you're a farmer. And if you have a yard and you fertilize it, you're a farmer." That's why 90,000 people got money from the government -- even though the USDA and the Black Farmers' Association say there were only 18,000 black farmers in the country. A Classic Stossel from 2011.   https://youtu.be/XUHcvg6IFlY Classic Stossel: The Biggest Freeloaders John Stossel 810K subscribers 200,140 views Feb 3, 2023 Has America become a nation of freeloaders? A person panhandling is what we usually picture when we think of freeloading … but in America today, the bigger recipients of handouts is not poor people, it's corporations. A Stossel Classic from 2011.   https://youtu.be/iQiLrm1VoMQ The Science of Happiness John Stossel 810K subscribers 109,131 views Dec 13, 2022 People are often born happy, or unhappy, due to wiring in our brains -- but fortunately, there are things that ALL of us can do to become happier. ———— To get our new weekly video from Stossel TV, sign up here: https://www.johnstossel.com/#subscribe ———— "Socializing is hugely associated with being happy," psychology professor Sonja Lyubomirsky told me. I pushed back: "I'm an introvert. I don't WANT to socialize." "Okay, we actually did a study where we asked both introverts and extroverts for one week to act more extroverted," she responded. Her study found just socializing “a little more” made people happier. What other things make people happy? That's in the video above.   https://youtu.be/KY8hDajSOY8 Surprising Answers From Fmr CIA Director Mike Pompeo on Spending, Defense & Entitlements John Stossel 810K subscribers 518,191 views Jan 31, 2023 I never expect much from politicians. But Mike Pompeo, a possible candidate for president, surprised me. ———— To get our new weekly video from Stossel TV, sign up here: https://www.johnstossel.com/#subscribe ———— Pompeo used to be CIA Director and Secretary of State. I wanted to talk to him because he might run for president. I confronted him about Republican hypocrisy on spending. I pushed him on whether he'd cut entitlements. Would he abolish the Department of Education?

But there's another group called "Black Guns Matter," started by Maj Toure. Toure carries a gun with him everywhere he goes, and he encourages others to do the same. His group trains people, especially black communities, how to safely use firearms. Why black communities? “Gun control is racist,” he tells me. Toure says, correctly, gun control began to "stop black people from having the means to defend themselves."     https://youtu.be/s4XcbM6nkBs This Thanksgiving, Say Thank You to "Private Property” John Stossel 810K subscribers 154,929 views Nov 22, 2022 #subscribe Did you know that the pilgrims almost starved after they arrived at Plymouth Rock? That's because they were forced to farm "collectively." The corporation that funded the expedition said, "grow food together. Divide the harvest equally." -------- Don't miss a single video from Stossel TV. Sign up here: www.johnstossel.com/#subscribe-form --------- This is a terrible idea. It creates what economists call the "tragedy of the commons." When you share property and the results of your work, people farm until the land is barren, don't work as hard, or steal food from others. Young people from Students For Liberty take part in an experiment to demonstrate this "tragedy of the commons." It shows the solution is private property, which is what saved the pilgrims. Governor William Bradford finally decided to "assign each family a parcel of land." Once the pilgrims had property rights, they became much more productive and brought in huge harvests -- which they were then able to share with the Indians. So this Thanksgiving feast, don't forget to say "thanks, private property!"   https://youtu.be/n0jIV3cIw74 Classic Stossel: What's Great About America--Starting a Business John Stossel 810K subscribers 60,921 views Nov 25, 2022 One of the things that's great about America is its entrepreneurial spirit.

The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 2:  Despite seven whales washing-up along New Jersey beaches, Governor Phil Murphy insists he will not halt the development of massive offshore windmill farms. Environmental organizations have expressed concern that the dead whales could be the result of development-related exploration of the ocean floor. Recently on 60 Minutes, Stanford University biologist Paul Ehrlich warned of an unavoidable “mass extinction.” Ehrlich has a long history of making inaccurate doomsday predictions: in the 1970's he famously warned that overpopulation would cause mass starvation and chaos, in the 1990's he stated Florida and Washington D.C. would soon be underwater, and in 2014 he suggested that in the not-too-distant future society will be forced to eat human bodies. In an attempted defense of Joe Biden's mishandling of classified documents, The New York Times published an article titled, “Documents Inquiry Puts Spotlight on Biden's Frenetic Last Days as Vice President”—suggesting that the chaotic finally days of the Obama Administration are responsible for Biden's carelessness. NYT White House correspondents Peter Baker and Michael D. Shear also name White House aides who may be responsible for misplacing the classified documents now at the center of a Justice Department's special counsel investigation. Zeoli wonders: Who, from the Biden Administration, coordinated with Baker and Shear to write this defense? Fox News White House correspondent Peter Doocy said that Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre had no say in the Biden Administration's decision to hide the classified documents scandal from the press for two-months. So, who is making these decisions? 

The Rich Zeoli Show- Full Episode (01/16/2023):  3:00pm- On Saturday, the White House released a statement revealing that five additional pages containing classified information were found at President Joe Biden's home in Wilmington, Delaware. According to The New York Times, the classified documents “were discovered hours after a White House statement on Thursday morning that cited only one" page had been “discovered the night before in a storage area adjacent to the garage.” 3:20pm- While appearing on MSNBC, former Congressman David Jolly argued that President Joe Biden should be praised for his handling of classified documents—arguing that after discovering the documents, Biden did exactly what he was supposed to do by contacting the proper authorities.  3:45pm- Speaking with Jonathan Karl on ABC's This Week, Congressman Adam Schiff (D-CA) endorsed Attorney General Merrick Garland's decision to appoint a special counsel to investigate Joe Biden's mishandling of classified documents. Schiff said he couldn't “exclude the possibility” that there was a national security risk to Biden's actions.  3:50pm- Chairman of the House Oversight Committee James Comer (R-TN) questioned why the discovery of the Biden documents wasn't announced immediately after they were discovered on November 2nd—speculating that it likely had to do with the impact the news could have had on the highly consequential November 8th midterm elections.  3:55pm- Why was Hunter Biden paying Joe Biden $50,000 a month for rent at the Wilmington home where classified documents were discovered? According to a report from Zero Hedge, “the most expensive home currently for rent in Wilmington, Delaware is going for $6,000 per month.” 4:00pm- Despite seven whales washing-up along New Jersey beaches, Governor Phil Murphy insists he will not halt the development of massive offshore windmill farms. Environmental organizations have expressed concern that the dead whales could be the result of development-related exploration of the ocean floor. 4:15pm- Recently on 60 Minutes, Stanford University biologist Paul Ehrlich warned of an unavoidable “mass extinction.” Ehrlich has a long history of making inaccurate doomsday predictions: in the 1970's he famously warned that overpopulation would cause mass starvation and chaos, in the 1990's he stated Florida and Washington D.C. would soon be underwater, and in 2014 he suggested that in the not-too-distant future society will be forced to eat human bodies.  4:35pm- In an attempted defense of Joe Biden's mishandling of classified documents, The New York Times published an article titled, “Documents Inquiry Puts Spotlight on Biden's Frenetic Last Days as Vice President”—suggesting that the chaotic finally days of the Obama Administration are responsible for Biden's carelessness. NYT White House correspondents Peter Baker and Michael D. Shear also name White House aides who may be responsible for misplacing the classified documents now at the center of a Justice Department's special counsel investigation. Zeoli wonders: Who, from the Biden Administration, coordinated with Baker and Shear to write this defense?  4:50pm- Fox News White House correspondent Peter Doocy said that Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre had no say in the Biden Administration's decision to hide the classified documents scandal from the press for two-months. So, who is making these decisions?  5:00pm- The World Economic Forum Conference—an international non-governmental lobbying organization—is set to kick off their annual summit in Davos, Switzerland on Monday. The meeting's primary concerns: environmentalism and climate change. But how many conference participants will be arriving in private jets? According to a study from Greenpeace, an estimated 1,040 private jets were used by attendees at the 2022 World Economic Forum conference.   5:15pm- BlackRock CEO Larry Fink warned that he expects a recession in 2023.  5:25pm- While appearing on Fox News, investigative journalist Matt Tiabbi estimated that 500 to 1,000 people from multiple federal government agencies were involved in censoring social media posts, specifically on Twitter.  5:45pm- The Intercept's Jeremy Scahill writes that in the 1970s then-Senator Joe Biden scuttled President Jimmy Carter's nomination of Ted Sorenson to CIA Director, alleging that Sorenson had unlawfully possessed classified documents. Biden, according to Scahill, even suggested Sorenson could be prosecuted under the Espionage Act.  6:05pm- National Review's Dominic Pino writes that the “Consumer Product Safety Commission is out of control.” After considering a ban on gas-stoves, citing alleged pollutants the stoves expel, the agency is now targeting a small business owner.  6:25pm- President Joe Biden sang “happy birthday” to Andrea Waters King—wife of Martin Luther King III—but seemingly forgot her name midway through the song…. 6:40pm- In a recent opinion editorial, Princeton University philosophy professor Peter Singer idiotically compared climate activists who deface artwork to Martin Luther King Jr.—arguing that the climate activists are simply doing what is required in order to draw public attention to their cause.

In this episode, Dinesh celebrates the House GOP's creation of a new Church Committee to investigate the abuses and corruption of the FBI and the Deep State. Why Biden's classified docs are far worse than Trump's. David Brooks and Bret Stephens say the GOP is now the party of Dinesh D'Souza, and Dinesh explains why this is a very good thing. Dinesh wonders whether Paul Ehrlich ever gets tired of being wrong?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The is not what I intended to record when I outlined the show. But, it's what came out. In this two-minutes and fifteen seconds of video, I watched a man---no, an empty vessel!--pour out twisting of truths that would make the serpent's scale blush, all with a grinning veneer and a tinny, faux-human laugh. Everything this vessel is caused to speak here is an oily, slimy, smelly lie, but it's far worse than that . . . https://twitter.com/GavinNewsom/status/1611486461077131264. . . in this Episode, I am actually responding live-time to the vessel and I cannot tell you how weird it was for me to have a show go entirely where I didn't intend (unlike the shows I feel suddenly called to record). But, here's an inside view of why that may have occurred. I have been in prayer about hiring a producer and a writer and building a proper studio in town. The morning I recorded this, I had asked God to step in and run the business. Silly me, I forgot that making content IS the business. What does God say?The Lord teaches us that none are smart or wise in His eyes--not even the scheming vessel named Gavin Newsome. 1 Corinthians 17-21For Christ did not send me to baptize, but to preach the gospel—not with wisdom and eloquence, lest the cross of Christ be emptied of its power.Christ Crucified Is God's Power and Wisdom18 For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God. 19 For it is written:“I will destroy the wisdom of the wise; the intelligence of the intelligent I will frustrate.”20 Where is the wise person? Where is the teacher of the law? Where is the philosopher of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world? 21 For since in the wisdom of God the world through its wisdom did not know him, God was pleased through the foolishness of what was preached to save those who believe.The Lord told us through the Prophet Isaiah that He does prepare for fallen nations cups of wrath and, eventually, those cups pour out on us. As you read this, consider the streets of San Francisco, Portland and Seattle. Isaiah 51:17-23 Wake yourself, wake yourself, stand up, O Jerusalem, you who have drunk from the hand of the Lord the cup of his wrath, who have drunk to the dregs the bowl, the cup of staggering. There is none to guide her among all the sons she has borne; there is none to take her by the hand among all the sons she has brought up. These two things have happened to you— who will console you?— devastation and destruction, famine and sword; who will comfort you? Your sons have fainted; they lie at the head of every street like an antelope in a net; they are full of the wrath of the Lord, the rebuke of your God.Watch Live | Bolsonaro supporters storm National Congress in Brazil…Gavin Newsome intends to run for President as the freedom Candidate:[AUDIO] - “Long-dormant authoritarian impulses have been awakened.

Welcome to the first Scoop of the New Year! Ann is out sick this week, but we're joined by a fascinating guest to discuss how the mainstream media has become the new secret police, like the German Stasi who infiltrated art and culture to shut down dissent. Author and journalist, Mark Judge is here to share his own experience being accused and demonized by the leftist media for his connections to future Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanagh during the infamous assault investigation. Also on the Scoop, we look at how being an environmentalist means never saying sorry, especially when you're Paul Ehrlich whose work has consistently been proven wrong yet still wins awards from the left. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/ap-scoop/message

The Heartland Institute’s Donald Kendal, Jim Lakely, Justin Haskins, and Chris Talgo present episode 379 of the In The Tank Podcast. With the start of a new year, climate alarmism has been given center stage. 60 Minutes recently ran a segment about the looming population doomsday. The segment, featuring noted doomsayer Paul Ehrlich, promoted dire […]

On 60 Minutes, Stanford University biologist Paul Ehrlich warned of an unavoidable “mass extinction.” Despite CBS' alarmist report, Ehrlich's credibility is questionable. In the 1970's he famously warned that overpopulation would cause mass starvation and chaos. In response to Ehrlich's most recent claims, investigative journalist Michael Shellenberger called the report “apocalyptic pseudoscience.”

The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 3:  While appearing on The Guy Benson Show, Rep. Dan Crenshaw (R-TX) said “we cannot let the terrorist win”—referring to the twenty Republicans refusing to vote for Kevin McCarthy for House Speaker. While on MSNBC, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) suggested that Democrats may be open to a “coalition government” if Kevin McCarthy were to approach Democrats for help with the House Speakership vote. During an interview with CTV News, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau—son of Pierre Trudeau and definitely not Fidel Castro's son—referred to protestors who objected to mandatory COVID-19 vaccinations as tin foil hat conspiracy theorists. According to a report from Brandon Drey of The Daily Wire, “[m]ajor fast-food chains like White Castle and Chipotle have started employing restaurant robots as labor shortages continue to impact the industry while the price of food increases in the aftermath of COVID and crippling inflation.” Appearing on Fox News, Rep. Michael Waltz (R-FL) claimed that Democrats are laughing at Republicans for failing to select a House Speaker.

The Rich Zeoli Show- Full Episode (01/04/2023): 3:05pm- On Wednesday, the U.S. House of Representative reconvened to decide the next Speaker of the House. The presumptive next Speaker, Kevin McCarthy, fell well short of the 218 needed on both the fourth and fifth ballots—garnering less support on votes four and five than he had received on vote one yesterday. 3:10pm- Speaking to reporters outside the Capitol, Rep. Byron Donalds stated that he “didn't come to D.C. being interested in becoming Speaker of the House.” On votes four and five, Donalds consistently received 20 votes to become Speaker. 3:30pm- Prior to the 6th vote to decide the House Speakership, Rep. Scott Perry (R-PA) nominated Byron Donalds (R-FL) to the Speakership.  3:45pm- While on the House floor, Rep. Lauren Boebert implored fellow Republicans to vote for Byron Donalds and asked former President Donald Trump to rescind his support for Kevin McCarthy. 4:05pm- Speakership Vote #6: Kevin McCarthy has once again failed to get the 218 votes necessary to become Speaker of the House. Is it time for the Republican party to rally around a new candidate?  4:10pm- Twitter Files Part 11: On Tuesday, investigative journalist Matt Taibbi released another series of Twitter files—this time documenting why the social media company allowed the intelligence community to suppress and moderate content, specifically references to a lab leak theory as the origins of COVID-19. 4:30pm- The House of Representatives has adjourned until 8pm ET after six failed attempts to select a new Speaker.  4:45pm- The Centers for Disease Control tweeted: “The best defense is a good offense! Defend yourself against blood clots…” Rich can't remember government agencies ever issuing blood clot warnings for young athletes in the past.  4:55pm- After six failed votes to determine a Speaker of the House, are more Republicans willing to defect from Kevin McCarthy? 5:00pm- While appearing on The Guy Benson Show, Rep. Dan Crenshaw (R-TX) said “we cannot let the terrorist win”—referring to the twenty Republicans refusing to vote for Kevin McCarthy for House Speaker.  5:10pm- While on MSNBC, Rep.

In 1970, Stanford professor Paul Ehrlich published a famous book, The Population Bomb, in which he described a disastrous future for humanity: “The battle to feed all of humanity is over. In the 1970s and 1980s hundreds of millions of people will starve to death in spite of any crash programs embarked upon now.” That prediction turned out to be very wrong, and in this interview American Enterprise Institute scholar Nicholas Eberstadt tells how we are in fact heading toward the opposite problem: not enough people. For decades now, many countries have been unable to sustain a population replacement birth rate, including in Western Europe, South Korea, Japan, and, most ominously, China. The societal and social impacts of this phenomenon are vast. We discuss those with Eberstadt as well as some strategies to avoid them. Recorded on June 14 at the American Enterprise Institute in Washington, DC.
